Set Up Event Calendars

Event calendars are useful for keeping your events organized. You can have up to 21 event calendars. You can also choose which calendar(s) should be selected by default when you create events.

  1. On the File menu in your PDS program, click Setup > Event Calendars.
  2. Click Insert Names to add a new calendar name.
  3. Use colors and fonts to make it easier to identify certain types of events on your printed calendars. You can also select a default color and font style.

  4. Select which, if any, calendar(s) should be automatically selected by default when creating an event. This is useful if you have a certain calendar or calendars that show ALL events. (You can always override this and select additional calendars when creating the event.)

  5. To remove a calendar, click Delete Names and select the items. A message displays to let you know how long this might take. Click Yes to continue with the deletion.
  6. To reorder event calendar names, click Reorder and use the arrows to move the items. Click Sort to arrange selected items alphabetically.
  7. If you have similar event calendar names that need to be merged, click Combine.
  8. Click Save/OK.

When you create an event using one of the scheduling wizards, you can select which calendar the event displays on. If you set a default calendar, it will be selected automatically, but you can override this selection if needed.

To set calendar options for a group of events, use the Quick Post Event Calendars process.
